1A keď popošiel Dávid trochu s temena vrchu, tu hľa, Cíba, sluha Mefibóšetov, išiel oproti nemu vedúc so sebou dvoch osedlaných oslov a na nich dvesto chlebov a sto sväzkov sušeného hrozna, sto hrúd letného ovocia, datlí a fíkov, a kožica vína.
1When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2A kráľ povedal Cíbovi: Načo ti je toto? A Cíba odpovedal: Osli sú pre dom kráľov jazdiť na nich a chlieb a ovocie, aby jedli služobníci, a víno aby sa napil, kto by zomdlel na púšti.
2The king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
3A zase povedal kráľ: A kde je syn tvojho pána? A Cíba odpovedal kráľovi: Hľa, zostal v Jeruzaleme, lebo povedal: Dnes mi navrátia, dom Izraelov, kráľovstvo môjho otca.
3The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’”
4Na to povedal kráľ Cíbovi: Hľa, tvoje je všetko, čo mal Mefibóšet. A Cíba povedal: Klaniam sa. Nech aj inokedy najdem milosť v tvojich očiach, môj pán kráľ!
4Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that pertains to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I do obeisance. Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king.”
5A keď prišiel kráľ Dávid až po Bachúrim, tu hľa, vyšiel odtiaľ nejaký muž z rodiny domu Saulovho, ktorému bolo meno Šimei, syn Géru, vychádzal pozvoľna a zlorečil.
5When king David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out, and cursed still as he came.
6A hádzal kamene do Dávida jako aj do všetkých služobníkov kráľa Dávida, hoc i všetok ľud i všetci udatní mužovia boli po jeho pravej i po jeho ľavej strane.
6He cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7A takto hovoril Šimei, keď zlorečil: Vyjdi, vyjdi, mužu krvi! A mužu beliála!
7Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and base fellow!
8Hospodin obrátil na teba všetku krv domu Saulovho, na ktorého mieste si kraľoval. Ale Hospodin dal kráľovstvo do ruky Absaloma, tvojho syna. A hľa, zapadol si vo svojej vlastnej zlobe, lebo si mužom krvi!
8Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned! Yahweh has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
9A Abišaj, syn Ceruje, povedal kráľovi: Načo má zlorečiť tento mŕtvy pes môjmu pánu kráľovi? Dovoľ, prosím, žeby som ta išiel a zoťal mu hlavu!
9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
10Ale kráľ povedal: Čo ja mám s vami, synovia Ceruje? Že zlorečí? A keď mu Hospodin povedal: Zloreč Dávidovi! nuž ktože povie: Prečo tak robíš?
10The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yahweh has said to him, ‘Curse David;’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
11A potom povedal Dávid Abišajovi a všetkým svojim služobníkom: Hľa, môj syn, ktorý pošiel z môjho života, hľadá moju dušu, o čo skôr môže potom syn Jeminiho! Nechajte ho, nech zlorečí, lebo Hospodin mu to kázal.
11David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him.
12Možno, že Hospodin pohliadne na moju krivdu a že mi odplatí Hospodin dobrým za jeho zlorečenie tohoto dňa.
12It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”
13A tak išiel Dávid a jeho mužovia cestou. A Šimei išiel po stráni vrchu, po boku naproti nemu, idúc a zlorečiac a hádzal kamene naproti nemu a vrhal prach.
13So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.
14A tak prišiel kráľ i všetok ľud, ktorý bol s ním, do Ajefíma, a odpočinuli si tam.
14The king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15A Absalom a všetok ľud, mužovia Izraelovi, prišli do Jeruzalema, a Achitofel s ním.
15Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16A stalo sa, keď prišiel Chúšai Arechitský, priateľ Dávidov, k Absalomovi, že povedal Chúšai Absalomovi: Nech žije kráľ! Nech žije kráľ!
16It happened, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17A Absalom povedal Chúšaimu: Či je toto tvoja láska a vďaka voči tvojmu priateľovi? Prečo si neišiel so svojím priateľom?
17Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”
18A Chúšai odpovedal Absalomovi: Nie, ale koho vyvolil Hospodin a tento ľud i všetci mužovia Izraelovi, toho budem a s tým ostanem.
18Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever Yahweh, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him I will stay.
19A po druhé, komuže to ja budem slúžiť? Či nebudem slúžiť pred jeho synom? Ako som slúžil pred tvojím otcom, tak a taký budem aj pred tebou.
19Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so will I be in your presence.”
20Potom povedal Absalom Achitofelovi: Nože poraďte, čo máme robiť!
20Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.”
21A Achitofel povedal Absalomovi: Vojdi k ženinám svojho otca, ktoré zanechal, aby dozeraly na dom, a počuje celý Izrael, že si sa zošklivil svojmu otcovi, vtedy zosilnejú ruky všetkých, ktorí sú s tebou.
21Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
22A tak roztiahli Absalomovi stán na postreší paláca, a Absalom vošiel k ženinám svojho otca pred očami celého Izraela.
22So they spread Absalom a tent on the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23A rada Achitofelova, ktorý radil v tých dňoch, bola taká, jako keby sa niekto bol pýtal na slovo Boha, taká bola každá rada Achitofelova jako u Dávida tak aj u Absaloma.
23The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
